I love this, and the others in the North series of poems. My favourites.
They give me goosebumps. I can’t put into words why…
trying to put into words why a poem, a song, a painting evokes something in me, is difficult.
I can’t explain it.

thank you so much – I know, sometimes it’s difficult to pinpoint a reason and I think that is one of the magical things about poetry that draws us back time after time – not a drug so much as a longing to find that indefinable connection again. I’m glad these poems inspired you and I really am grateful for your feedback. All the best, Colin.
